SPECIAL FEATURES DEFROST CENTER DEFROST CENTER automatically defrosts all the foods shown in the DEFROST CENTER CHART below. Round the weight to the nearest half pound. (Ex: if the steak's actual weight is 2.2 lb round to 2.0 lb. If the steak's weight is 2.4 lb round to 2.5 lb). To enter weight, touch the desired DEFROST CENTER pad for a 0.5 lb increase per touch. (Ex: touch four times for 2.0 lb). • Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 pound steak. PROCEDURE DISPLAY 1 STEAKS/ CHOPS x 4 2.0 COOK DEFROST NO. LBS. CUPS OZ.

Touch the POWER LEVEL pad once or twice after selecting the amount. See page 20. 2. To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed on the DEFROST CENTER CHART, use time and 30% power. See MANUAL DEFROST on page 13. 3. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of pounds. This procedure may be easier with larger weights such as 4 pounds because it requires fewer touches. To program, touch desired DEFROST CENTER pad and enter weight by touching the number pads. (Ex: touch STEAKS/CHOPS pad then 3 and 0 for a weight of three pounds or touch STEAKS/CHOPS pad, then 2 and 2 for a weight of 2.2 lb.)

After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed. Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food. 19
